A member asked:

My nose will turn bright red occasionally just out of the blue. i work night shift and every night after i eat lunch it will be red like a sunburn.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rosacea: A common cause of red facial flushing is rosacea. Hot food, spicy food, red wine, chocolate, stress, wind, change in temperature all flare rosacea. Control of flare factors is the initial mainstay of therapy.
